I buy gloves like Imelda Marcos bought shoes. I lie to myself

Uhh, mechanix. Whichever I see first that have impact protection. I buy them on a pcard, so I'm not ordering odd-brand shit like 'rig lizard', and every other glove brand available in stores besides mechanix and monkey grip are shit.

>odd-brand shit like 'rig lizard'
Hexarmor isn't "odd-brand" friend. It's the goto brand in the oilfield if you want better protection than the hamburger helper gloves give.

>>938472
the perfect one for me is

typical cheap cut resistant gloves with pu coatings

- cut protection
- no impact protection but i dont need it
- maximum dexterity as far as gloves can go
- breathable
- cheap
- washable
- good grip

the thing is, you can either have breathability or water resistance, and dexterity or impact protection, these things are mutually exclusive

>>938478
>dexterity or impact protection
The ones in the OP will seriously surprise you in this regard. I can easily work with telecom wires with them on...not saying that they're the right kind for you, just more that glove design has gotten pretty advanced in the last few years.

>>938481
how thick are they at the fingertip? you have piqued my interest

>>938486
Not very. The use the design where it's basically a flat piece of fabric that circles around the side and front of the finger. The top and bottom is attached to that. The seem is decently small, but more importantly, it's mainly out of the way from the work areas of the finger.

The ThornArmor gloves might fit your needs better: http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/thornarmor-3092.html

But, again, you're talking about a $40-$60 pair of gloves...

If you're wanting impact protection, there's also the Chrome Oasis (anything with oasis in the name means it's made with the breathable mesh).

>inb4 shill
Yeah, I guess I am kinda shilling for this company, but it's because I've used the shit out of them and love them.

What? You don't regularly grab a potted cactus by the cactus?

It's like you don't even know how to garden.

demolition and construction.
would like suggestions for other fair priced finger-less gloves

>>938499
Have you used those thornarmor ones? I see them in catalogs, but never anyone using them.

I work in a mold shop and there's these pieces of fucking steel swarf about the size of a human hair, and even with leather palm gloves, they always manage to get into my fucking hands.

My problem is that I have to be able to change the tool head in the CNC machine without taking my gloves off every 5 minutes.

>>938818
No, sorry I haven't. I have to have impact protection so they're nonstarters for me.

Boo. I'll go find a landscaping forum I guess

Leather gloves all the way, or fingerless with pool-over mittens (wool of course) if it s cold.

But then again I'm a geo so I don't have to touch the crud you guys do, just gotta hold my pencil. Hah

>>938818
What about kevlar

>>938671
I don't dare to wear fingerless gloves, even as an electrician because bullying

>>938472

If you just dont wear gloves like a faggot your hand will become cut resistant and will develop superior grip
